Kellen Moore takes over as head coach of the New Orleans Saints just days after Super Bowl win in their stadium

Just days after celebrating a Super Bowl victory as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, Kellen Moore has stepped into a brand-new role—head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

His appointment comes as the Saints finalize their search for a new leader, following the midseason dismissal of Dennis Allen.

A Bright Young Mind Leading the Saints

At just 35 years old, Moore is already making history as the youngest head coach in the NFL.

His offensive strategies helped guide the Eagles to a dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs at none other than the Saints’ own Superdome.

Now, he’s set to take charge of a team that’s looking for a fresh start after a disappointing season.

Building His Coaching Staff

Reports indicate that Moore is wasting no time assembling his staff.

One of his first moves could be bringing in former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley as his defensive coordinator.

This signals Moore’s intent to establish a strong foundation on both sides of the ball as he takes the reins in New Orleans.

From Quarterback to Play Caller

Moore’s journey to head coach has been remarkable.

A standout quarterback at Boise State, he went on to spend six seasons in the NFL as a backup for the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys.

After transitioning into coaching, he quickly climbed the ranks—first as a quarterbacks coach, then as an offensive coordinator with the Cowboys, Chargers, and Eagles.

The Challenges Ahead

Taking over in New Orleans won’t be an easy task.

The Saints are currently $54.1 million over the salary cap, which means Moore won’t have the luxury of working with star players like Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, or Jalen Hurts as he did in Philadelphia.

Roster decisions will be critical as the franchise navigates financial constraints and looks to rebuild.

Eagles Begin Search for a New Offensive Coordinator

Meanwhile, Moore’s departure leaves the Eagles searching for their fourth offensive coordinator in as many years.

His exit marks yet another major change for a team that has seen plenty of turnover in its coaching staff.

As Moore embarks on this next chapter of his career, all eyes will be on how he handles the challenges of leading the Saints back to playoff contention.
